1-It's is the only sport where I am largely familiar w/ player names, positions, etc.

2-Yes, made a conscious effort to do so.

3-Outside of college football, I'll watch a little tournament basketball if it's at the end & compelling. Can't name 30 MLB & NBA players combined. Don't care about NFL. Although I think it helps our team during recruiting when our former players do well in the NFL, I absolutely refuse to follow recruiting. While I understand its importance, it isn't for me.

1. Preseason I am hyped 2. Early season tournament disappointment, I say same old team 3. Early SEC play... This is the year! 4. Late SEC play... Don't deserve to be in the tournament 5. SEC tournament... We should be in! 6. NIT... Might as well watch

quote:(1) Do you only care about Alabama football and really not care at all about other sports that Alabama competes in?

Pretty much. I'm glad to see when they're doing well but I can't say that I'll ever invest any significant amount of time/emotion into them.

quote:(2) If the answer to #1 is yes, are you an alum of Alabama?

Yes

quote:(3) If the answer to #1 is yes, do you like other sports professionally or do you just only like football?

I also like the NBA, though I tend to be pretty up and down on it. ~5 or 6 years ago it was a close second to Alabama football. That's slowly shifted to where I only loosely follow the NBA now. I've been feeling like I'll probably get back into it over the course of the playoffs though.
